We heard about this update in the past weeks but it has now been confirmed by Gigabyte that the new AMD Ryzen Microcode Update will introduce 20 new memory registers, which will enable plug and play capabilities for DDR4 memory modules. G.Skill and GeIL are the largest suppliers of memory at this time.

We heard reports that claimed that memory that featured Samsung’s B die works best with AMD Ryzen and now it has been confirmed by AMD’s technical marketing lead Robert Hallock. He also talked about BIOS updates coming out that will enable out of the box support for Hynix based memory modules.

If you are using AMD Ryzen and are waiting for the AMD Ryzen Microcode Update then you will get the best performance with the modules that feature Samsung’s B die. It is important to remember that advertised memory speeds are according to Intel standards and it can be tricky to get the same speeds on AMD Ryzen.

Let us know what you think about the upcoming AMD Ryzen Microcode Update and whether or not you are using the AMD Ryzen platform.
